Enduro MTB: Analysis of the EWS season

The world enduro circuit ended with the French stage. While waiting to see what will happen at the 'Nations' in Finale Ligure, let's try to see who has gone up and who has fallen in this 2022.

Loudenvielle general classification: Melamed - Rude - Maes

All regular at the top

After the 2020 victory Jessie Melamed, interviewed by us after the Val di Fassa stage, confirms his position at the top of the global results. With a very regular and very intense season he manages to win with a good gap. Behind him the eternal Rude, who pays two subdued races; but that once again is among the protagonists of the discipline. In third place a reborn Martin Maas, which thanks to a regular season manages to return to its performance standards.

After a sensational season Moir is positioned in fourth position. An excellent result but certainly not up to what he had shown last season. Also noteworthy is the return of Edward Master in the top positions of the ranking.

Even at the female level, the names that alternate at the top remain almost identical. There were no major news. The growth of Scarce Glory, interviewed by us some time ago, just outside the top ten. The Italian still has to grow and we are sure that she will have the opportunity to climb in the results starting next season.

In the jovial categories it is difficult to be able to make a detailed analysis, ours is confirmed Sophie Riva, second at the end of the season. The Aosta Valley athlete is continuing his competitive maturation, a good sign also for the next seasons. Many new names that we find at the top of the charts, which highlight the ferment present in many countries.

Who gets off

Unfortunately, the first name we have to make is that of Mirco Harvest, who, after the excellent results of 2021, has not been able to confirm his talent this season. Other names disappeared from the top of the chart are Kevin Miguel in the male field e Katy Winton among the girls. According to her social network, the Scottish athlete should have had some personal problems that prevented her from finding the right competitive balance.

Italy alarm

Well the girls, of which we have already spoken, the male sector very badly. We have no unders in the upper parts of the standings and none of the most famous riders have ever been in the game. A debacle that should make us think and that we hope will be an empty passage to be recovered.

Canada and its young people

On the contrary, there is Canada; a nation that is evidently investing heavily in the youth sector. In the dh Goldstone lead a respectable patrol; in the enduro in addition to the absolute with Melamed the nation of the maple leaf has managed to win both results under with Amy Lan among girls and Sherlock Seth among the boys, followed by his compatriot Emmet Hancock. An important signal that should be analyzed in depth, to understand where it comes from.

Now the focus will be on the nations on Sunday a Finale Ligure, the final act of the enduro season, then all to rest to prepare for 2023
